• Automatic router tracking
• Vue directive for events
• No dependencies

Requirements

Vue ^2.0.0

Install

npm install vue-churnzero

or

yarn add vue-churnzero

Getting started

After installing the package you can start using the plugin in your Vue application:

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueChurnZero from 'vue-churnzero';

Vue.use(VueChurnZero, {
    appKey: YOUR_APP_KEY,
    accountId: USER_ACCOUNT_ID,
    contactId: USER_CONTACT_ID,
});

Note: appKey, accountId and contactId can be promises. In this case, the plugin will start right after all the promises will be resolved. In order not to lose users' events in the meantime, the plugin collects users' event to storage and fires them later.

Once you registered the plugin, you can start tracking the events. There are multiple ways how you can do it.

Using instance method

In the component, you can access trackEvent method:

export default {
    name: 'my-component',

    methods: {
        track() {
            this.$cz.trackEvent('event name');
        }
    }
}

Please refer to the official ChurnZero documentation on trackEvent arguments. Note: you shouldn't send trackEvent as the first argument. The plugin does it for you. You just need to specify one required field eventName. description, quantity and customFields are all optional.

Using directive

Alternatively, you can use vue directive to achieve the same effect.

<template>
    <button v-cz="$cz.t(this, 'event name')">
        Click me
    </button>
</template>

t is a shorthand version of trackEvent. It binds trackEvent for you and allows you to save bytes in your components. Nevertheless, you still can use the full method if you'd like to:

<template>
    <button v-cz="$cz.trackEvent.bind(this, 'event name')">
        Click me
    </button>
</template>

Using commands

If you want to keep all of you tracking methods separately in one place, you can specify commands object while initializing the plugin.

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueChurnZero from 'vue-churnzero';

Vue.use(VueChurnZero, {
    appKey: YOUR_APP_KEY,
    accountId: USER_ACCOUNT_ID,
    contactId: USER_CONTACT_ID,
    commands: {
        trackButtonClick() {
            this.$cz.trackEvent('event name');
        }
    }
});

In this case, all you need is to specify the method name when using the directive:

<template>
    <button v-cz="'trackButtonClick'">
        Click me
    </button>
</template>
